2014 winner Brett Jones of Due Process sits in solo second at 3-under, while two-time defending champion Alex Beach of Baltusrol is in third at 1-under.

The field of this event consists of the top 40 Section Professionals from the OMEGA Player of the Year standings. The Fall Finale is the final Section major of the year. The 54-hole event has determined two of the last three Section Players of the Year.
